Show HN: filippo.io/mlkem768 – Post-Quantum Cryptography for the Go Ecosystem
Note that there may be incompatibilities until NIST has published the final revisions. Some specifications are on Round 3 kyber, others are on FIPS 203.
This one will interoperate with Bouncy Castle as we both use FIPS 203 draft, but won't interoperate with OQS that is still on the Round 3 submission.

Java implementation of a quantum computing resistant cryptographic algorithm
The readme mentions a dependency on Bouncy Castle - note that BC already contains several Java-based PQC signature schemes, see https://doc.primekey.com/bouncycastle/interoperability#Inter... and https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java

Help with BouncyCastle OpenPGP (Java)
The best official resources are probably the example classes in the bouncycastle repository. They give you a rough idea for how to use the API, although they are a bit minimal unfortunately. You can probably apply a lot of domain knowledge (what algorithms are good/bad) from openpgpjs too, although you'd have to find out how the respective method calls are called on the BC side.

Dozens sue Amazon's Ring after camera hack leads to threats and racial slurs
Recently there was a constant time enhancement in bouncy castle that added a comparison using indexOf instead of charAt. Fairly easy to overlook, although glaring in hindsight, if there are no negative tests covering the functionality.
What are some alternatives?
